Chapter 190: Follow the General's Will

It was not only the cavalry army that fled for their lives that caused panic in the siege, but also the awe-inspiring roar of the crossbow chariots firing at the top of the city.

The catapult phalanx no longer exists, whether it is installed or not, there are no more, only two hundred piles of raging fire remain! The dry wood of the bodies of the heavy catapults became the best fuel for the fires ignited by the rockets fired by the repeater chariots.

Without the support of catapults, the crowded siege army under the city was completely exposed to the edge of the crossbow chariots, and after nearly two months, the angry defenders began to shoot at the top of the city to kill the people below who had lost their fighting spirit.

The repeater chariot bow and arrow cart is no longer firing rockets, after changing the bowstring, it is changed to ordinary arrows, and the single arrow burst is changed to three arrows burst, because for the operators, there is no need to aim at all, everywhere is the target, and the arrows sent out will always find their home in the crowded army.

* The car no longer needs to set the elevation angle and shoot out horizontally, *After hitting the target, it will continue to carry the target's corpse through until the second target, the third target...... Many of the enemy soldiers died in strings.

No one could have imagined that the defenders of the city, who were originally completely at a disadvantage, would achieve a one-sided advantage, which was incomprehensible to those on the fortress, and even more incomprehensible to those under the fortress.

"Kill it—" The soldiers above the fortress heard the earth-shattering roar and the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves.

The armies outside the city gate that were still in chaos were still trying to organize an orderly retreat, but the cavalry commander banner of Ulin was the first to rush out of the fortress gate, and the dust in the rear followed, drowning the cavalry that was still entangled outside the gate in the dust, and also ended the generals of the coalition army who were still struggling whether to fight or withdraw, they knew that their own army, which had no fighting spirit and no rules, could not resist the overwhelming cavalry army, and now, all they could do was to flee for their lives.

For the 20,000 cavalry of Ulin, on the flat ground outside the fortress, all that remained was to harvest lives, step on the corpses of the enemy, and advance!

"The repeater chariot fires in a single shot, shoots freely, and avoids accidental injury! Other units stick to their posts! Lan Xian'er, who was still standing at the head of the city like a fairy, gave her last order to the herald.

The Shante in the fortress city has gathered all the spearmen and halberders who can participate in the battle, less than 6,000 people, but all of them have swept away the decline, all of them are alive and vibrant, and they are excited to beat the blood!

"Don't talk nonsense, General Ben will take you to mow the grass!" Shante brandished his mad demon shield and said loudly, and after saying that, following the last cavalry to go out, he also walked out of the gate of the fortress and went to mow the grass towards the dusty battlefield......

But it was much more interesting for Nadal, the general of staff of the Fifth Army, who did not know what was going on inside and outside the fortress. Ever since he had sent men to seize the gates and open them, he had been busy gathering his cronies, as well as dozens of dead men secretly planted by the Arad coalition army, more than a hundred in all, and then headed towards Hig's residence, for him, what did he have to do with the victory or defeat of the war outside? The head of Count Higg is even more important!

The fortress battlefield was in full swing, but Higg's residence was eerily quiet. Nadal's intelligence shows that most of the people have protected the fortress, and only Higg's marshal guards are left to protect the commander-in-chief, and half of them went to the city to protect his wife Lan Xian'er, for Nadal, such an opportunity is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you enter Higg's residence and control Higg, you can use the marshal's order to control the entire fortress army, even if you can't, with the marshal in hand, you can completely let the other party throw a mouse trap and retreat by yourself, in short, you can make sure you don't lose money!

The guards outside Higg's residence were quickly subdued, and Nadal entered Higg's residence without incident. Higg's residence in the Giskol fortress was not very large and was far from the barracks. When Nadal led his more than 100 dead soldiers into the second courtyard of Higg's residence, Nadal himself was immediately dumbfounded!

"General Nadal, I didn't expect it to be you!" Higg said with a smile on the stone pedestal in the courtyard.

"Marshal, you—Are you all right?" Nadal asked in a panic, then rolled his eyes and immediately ordered, "Up, take down Higg!" ”

The sound of swords came from behind him, and I saw that more than a hundred dead soldiers who were still in the first courtyard were fighting with each other, and they were ruthless with their lives.

Nadal's face turned pale, completely unaware of what was happening.

Higg picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Ben Shuai recently studied a set of fire magic skills, called infighting, but unfortunately Ben Shuai himself is not skilled enough, so he had to arrange this magic skill in the outer courtyard into a formation, I want to try the effect, but I didn't expect it to really work!" ”

"Your Excellency Marshal...... This, this is a misunderstanding! Nadal laughed miserably, "The last general just came to visit the adults, and the adults have misunderstood!" ”

"Huh!" Higg smiled, "Ben Shuai was not sure if there were any traitors, but after a little temptation, I didn't expect to really catch a big fish!" General Nadal, I have to thank you, otherwise today's battle might not have been won so easily! You and I used to be both staff officers of the army under the account of Marshal Montgosa, and we worked together, you are indeed a rare staff officer of the Fifth Army, and you planned this big victory for the commander as soon as he made a move! ”

"What? The last general doesn't understand what the marshal is talking about! Nadal said tremblingly.

"Don't worry, you'll understand!" Higg said with a smile, then shouted, "Mevo! ”

"Yes!" Only the sound of Mevo coming from the outer courtyard, and then the sound of powerful crossbowmen firing crossbows, completely drowned out the sound of sword handing outside the outer courtyard. After a few moments, all the sounds died down and the whole courtyard fell silent!

"Let's go, General Nadal!" Higg got up and said, "Ben Shuai will take you to the head of the fortress to see what is going on outside!" ”

"Marshal, the last general......" Nadal knelt down towards Higg and was about to speak, only to see that Mevo's sword was already on his neck.

"Mevo, don't be slow to General Nadal!" Higg got up and went out.

Maevo took his sword and kicked Nadal, who was pushed out of the outer yard with a rolling belt. The outer courtyard was a mess, and the whole courtyard was stained red with blood, but it was the blood of more than a hundred of his own dead soldiers. More than a hundred corpses lay in pools of blood, each with two or three arrows stuck in them......

The panicked Nadal was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, but he quickly stabilized his mood after a long time on the battlefield, anyway, he couldn't escape today, so it was better to die with dignity. Then he got up, followed Higg, and walked towards the head of the fortress.

……

When Higg stepped on the top of the city and looked out at the battlefield below, the scene could only be described as horrible. The Arad coalition forces were forced to retreat, and at first they could control it slightly, but the threat of the city gate cavalry, the shooting of the crossbow chariots at the head of the city, and the trampling of their comrades running back and trampling on each other, had turned the unorganized retreat into a rout, desperately trying to escape from the range of the repeater chariots.

But it was too crowded below, and in order to get the head of Count Higg, all kinds of armies rushed up, and under the small fortress, nearly 100,000 troops were gathered! When the dense army became a target and fled, it was found that no matter where it was, it was a person, and it was impossible to run at all. In order to flee for their lives, the soldiers not only trampled on each other, but some even began to kill each other desperately, wielding knives to cut off their comrades in front of them who blocked their escape path.

The phalanx of 200 giant catapults, which had been their siege weapon, became a formidable obstacle in their escape route. The raging fire was insurmountable, even if it had been burned to ashes, the hot charcoal fire made the soldiers who had just stepped on it immediately fall to the ground, becoming a stepping stone for the friendly forces behind.

Everyone knew that only after passing the catapult phalanx could it be possible to escape the range of the repeater chariots, and it was possible to escape from the nightmare. Soon, all the fires were extinguished, and it was no one else who extinguished the fires, but the bodies of the fleeing allies, and the soldiers in the rear stepped on the corpses of the firefighters, smelling the smell of burnt corpses, and hurried away, but the farther they fled to the rear, the wider the ground, and the twenty thousand cavalry of Ulin followed, and when they reached the rear of the catapult phalanx, they were really able to fully unfold.

The cavalry of the Fifth Legion, interspersed on the battlefield, constantly divided and surrounded, and then rushed to kill, but in the rear, even the cavalry gradually became chaotic, and the organized killing turned into a free fight, and no one would remember how many people they killed......

Ulin's 5,000 mid-lane cavalry didn't care about killing those stragglers at all, but directly followed the fast-fleeing Arad cavalry army and rushed straight to the opponent's Chinese camp.

Originally, the Arad coalition army, which thought that the capture of the Giscol fortress was foolproof, did not leave many people to garrison the Chinese army, and most of them ran to the front to grab the credit, but now the situation is one-sided, and the phalanx of the Chinese army camp is finally not at ease! Although the 10,000 people garrisoned by the Chinese army were elite, they could not withstand the impact of the fleeing army, and the elite of the unstoppable enemy cavalry commander.

No one can stop the way of the soldiers who are frantically fleeing for their lives, and any stumbling block that blocks their retreat will be crushed, even if it is a large battalion of the Chinese army. The experienced Alad Coalition vice-coach Lightkley was well aware that he had to order a retreat.

The loosening of the Chinese army camp increased the panic of the whole army, and the entire Chinese army camp slowly changed under the impact of the rout and the 5,000 elite cavalry of Ulin, from the initial retreat formation to a rout, joining the ranks of the defeated army.

The last force that had a slight resistance had collapsed, and Ulin breathed a sigh of relief! Marshal Higg did not say what goals he wanted to accomplish or when he would return to the team, and there were only the most conspicuous words on the order book: "Follow the general's will!" ”

Excited, Ulin began to spread the battle to the outskirts of the fortress, and no one knew where he was going to pursue......

Shante's thousands of spearmen, compared to the meat-eating cavalry in Ulin, are not even soup to drink, except for sporadic killings, there is not much grass left for Shante's spearmen to harvest. In the end, his army turned into enemy soldiers who received the cavalry capture, and the spearmen who had always eaten and drunk on the fortress were simply disgraced, and they could only watch from afar as the cavalry killed the enemy and cut the grass......
